The difficulty of a black cat is that I am not a good enough photographer to allow you to see how cute this face is.
Whew. Under 100,000 words. Lots of images. Draft one is ready to edit.
Landscaping is my passion (thank god they pay me to do intellectual work, or else I would starve).
I have to save every thirty seconds or this one threatens to delete everything.
Thanks for doing this! Here is my contribution and a pic of the two we adopted a couple of weeks ago from our local shelter. No question, just gratitude.
This is a cat check point. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone.
This past weekend my son graduated from the best college major in the world: Social Thought and Political Economy (STPEC) at the University of Massachusetts, @umassamherst.bsky.social. Grateful for radical, engaged professors and students!
Happy Mother's Day to all! I am celebrating by making artesanal coffee in a hotel in Buffalo. You do you.
Old Mikvah in the basement of a restaurant across from Sta María la Blanca in Sevilla. Restored and can be visited!
I just picked up two books by Dionne Irving Bremeyer @dionneirving.bsky.social for a long trip: The Islands, and Quint. @dionneirving.bsky.social
Fernando and Isabela, the Catholic monarchs, tried Columbus for his crimes in the early 16 C, making them the original "woke mob."
Do we still do colonial Latin American #paleography help? This says "...e los dhos negros como honbres..." and that next word looks like "enchados" but I have no idea what that means? Should be something like "accustomed" or "acclimated," given context. Help?
We have it, but I do not understand how to search for those volume numbers. This is the screen I get when I enter the database.
And then I learned that there was a cacique called Dabaibe in what became Darién, in 1513 (carta de Vasco Núñez de Balboa a Su Magestad)
Left over paired notes on the speaker's table at the Detroit Cadillac Westin...
Oh, I am glad that Brady, Cali, and Charlie Brown will be able to make trouble together. Brady left us this summer after 17.5 years of pure love. Cali, on the left, left a little before that.
